Flora & Fauna Assessment for Development Applications
Last modified: July 24, 2009 - 9:32 AM
It is important for applicants to ensure that a Flora and Fauna Assessment Report complies with the relevant Commonwealth, State and Local Government Legislation, as well as any State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs), Regional Environmental Planning Policies (REPs), Local Environment Plans (LEPs), Development Control Plans (DCPs) and any policies that Council has in place.
Development and activities that do not require consent or approval under Parts 4 or 5 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 (E P & A Act 1979), but may harm or damage threatened species, populations, endangered ecological communities (EECs) or critical habitat, must be addressed under the licensing provisions of Part 6 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act 1995) and Fisheries Management Act 1994 (FM Act 1994).
